Red Ochre wins 2016 Sorell Regional Art Prize

An evocative landscape painting by Wattle Hill artist Lauren McLennan won the $1500 Sorell Council Acquisition Award at the Sorell Regional Art Prize exhibition for 2016.

Mayor Kerry Vincent said he had a difficult time making a choice, but after mulling over his dilemma decided on Red Ochre for the Sorell Council collection and bought Mavis Wilkins’ dramatic causeway photograph Stormy Weather for his own home.
